Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 30, 1930) Ray F. Conway, city clerk, who has charge of the issuing of fishing licenses in this section, informs the Plaindealer that he has received the license cards for 1930 and is now ready to supply same to "anyone wanting to take out a state license. Ifteidentally, Mr. Conway stated that he has been issued License No! l this year, which comes to him in recognition of his splendid work in handling v the licenses and in getting his reports in to the state promptly. Revenge is what the MA ACS went to Woodstock after and revenge is what they got, though it took a mighty tough battle to bring home the victory, 22-18, in an overtime game that will go down in history as the hardest fought game that these two teams have ever staged. It certainly was a thriller to watch and every one of the spectators was on his feet almost continually from the half, when McHenry was out in front, 13 to 9. until the final whistle blew with the score tied 18 all. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 1, 1940) At a meeting of the Lake County Democratic Central committee a resolution was passed endorsing the can­ didacy of Thomas A.

He has now completed 78,764. of the 100,000 mile quota which he set for himself and which he expects to have completed by the end of 1940. From S.I.H.: "Much has been said and much has been done to put over the Charity ball. Everybody had a great time-but. one question still lingers-'Who put the hole in Homer's derby?' The question ^,i.s nearly as stupendous as Who put the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder0 'Fitz' would do better in a stocking cap when out with his pals." TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 27, 1955) Only a few hours remain before the annual Mothers March on Polio, conducted locally and through the nation in connection with the March of Dimes drive.

Home economics students enrolled at the University of Illinois will take on the role of public relations personnel when they return to their homes between semesters. McHenry's guest will be Charlotte Hogan of Ringwood. She is one of 72 girls who have volunteered to spend time during their vacations telling high school girls in Illinois about home economics in particular.
